Thanks to the passion and hard work of all of our members and supporters, we surpassed our goal of 25,000 signatures on the FEC petition to the White House. This feat was not easy - as many of you can attest to - but we wanted to personally thank each and every one of you that signed the petition and worked to get your friends, family and neighbors to do the same.
